Quotas
The Kennedy School has imposed quotas on E-Mail and Network accounts for Faculty, Staff, and Students. It is important for you to keep your E-Mail and Network drives free from clutter or unwanted mail.
Students have 150 MB of space on a network drive for saving personal files. This space is designated as the M: drive.
Students have 500MB of space on the server for e-mail messages. Messages older than 6 months old are purged twice a year in July and January.
Reduce Personal M: Drive Space
The size of your M drive can be checked by opening up your Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer), and clicking on your M drive. You should see all of your file folders in the right hand window. Click in the window and go to Edit/Select All. Your file folders on the M drive should become highlighted. Right click any of the highlighted folders and go to properties. Your M drive space will show up in the dialog box that appears.
Be careful not to select only the M drive in the right pane (in which case, none of your folders on the M drive will become highlighted) and view the properties. This will give you the total space left on the M drive for the whole school.
Reduce Mailbox Space
Outlook offers an easy way to make local archives that remove email from the server. Stop by the lab if you would like help setting up an archive.
